There’s nothing fun about being stung by pests. The stings from pests can cause immediate skin reactions. These reactions can range from a mild itch to severe pain. Some people are also allergic to certain stings, such as bee stings. In fact, approximately 40 people per year die in the United States due to an allergic reaction to bee stings. If you are in the Atlanta area, then you should also contact an Atlanta pest control company in order to put a stop to pest problems in and around your home. Below is information on some of the common pests that sting that you should be on the lookout for:Bees: Bees are found globally and there are more than 20,000 recorded species. Some bees are solitary, although species such as bumble bees and honey bees are extremely social. Bees can be a big problem if they build their hive around or even in your home.Hornets: The only species of true hornet located in the United States is the European hornet. It is yellow and brown in color and measures about an inch and a half in length. The hornet is known to inflict a very painful sting and this is why you want to be sure you control the number of hornets around your home by calling an Atlanta pest control company.Yellow Jackets: Yellow Jackets are named after their appearance. Although most are yellow and black, some appear to be mostly black. A colony can have 1000 yellow jackets, making them a big potential problem. Although they are not quick to sting a person, they will defend their colony and just one will be capable of producing many stings.Wasps: Most wasps have two sets of wings and a thinned out waist. Some wasps are aggressive and can carry out multiple stings. If you notice wasps around your home, you should contact an Atlanta pest control company for assistance.Scorpions: Scorpions have an erectile tail and are related to spiders and ticks. Some, but not all, scorpions are poisonous. However, they can produce a very painful sting and an Atlanta pest control company should be called out if you find scorpions in or close to your home.These pests are everywhere and this means you should take necessary precautions when you are going to be outdoors and call out an Atlanta pest control service for your home.

There are already a plethora of different types of annoying little bugs and pests to be found in the Metro Atlanta area (spiders, roaches, fire ants, rats, termites, etc.) that are enough to make the average homeowner cringe. Recently, however, Atlanta has been rocked with the invasion of not one, but TWO insect species. Now, more than ever, homeowners are in need of an effective Atlanta pest control service to keep their homes bug free.

In the past five years, there has been an invasion of ugly, brown, stinky, ladybug lookalike creatures, better known as kudzu bugs, who are aiming to make their presence known in front of houses all over metro Atlanta. Originally from Asia, this invasive species is believed to have come to the Western world, by way of plane, to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Since their discovery in 2009, kudzu bugs have spread to over seven states. Apparently, they are thriving here in America and their irritating presence is being felt in neighborhoods all over metro Atlanta.

Although kudzu bugs don't bite or sting, they are annoying because of the foul odor that they emit, and because of their tendency to cluster on light colored buildings and clothing. Unfortunately, these brazen little pests don't seem to have any fear of human beings. Additionally, they have a tendency to seek shelter inside of homes and will bring their horrible stench with them. Once inside the home, they are even harder to get rid of. The homeowner will require the help of a professional Atlanta pest control technician in order to remove the problem effectively.

On a lighter note, there is one positive benefit to the presence of the kudzu bug; it destroys the parasitic kudzu vine (also from Asia) that kills our native plants. However, it's fairly certain that this fact will not be a comfort to any homeowner that happens to find clusters of kudzu bugs on their property.

The second infestation that seems to be plaguing the residents of the metro Atlanta area are bed bugs; those evil, blood sucking little monsters that we sung about as little kids are back. Bed bugs are small parasitic pests feed on the blood of humans and other hosts; creatures like birds and bats. They are nocturnal insects so it is very rare to see them during the day. In fact, many people are not even aware of a bed bug infestation until it has already grown out of control.

Did you know that bedbugs have been shown to be immune to certain types of insecticides? Or that they have a tendency to reproduce quickly? This virtual invincibility gives them the ability to spread their infestations rapidly throughout the surrounding areas. Removing them permanently will require the trusted services of an experienced Atlanta pest control company.

Bedbugs in Atlanta have made a resurgence lately and are being seen in college dormitories, hotel rooms, apartment complexes, nursing homes, and hospitals all over metro Atlanta and its surrounding areas. Surprising, these infestations are not a result of unsanitary living conditions. In truth, housekeeping cannot prevent a bedbug problem. These vampire like insects are not only found in beds and mattress, but also under furniture and behind headboards; anywhere where they can retire unmolested and a food source is nearby. It is impossible for a normal person to find and destroy all of their hiding places. Bed bugs infestations will need the help of professional Atlanta pest control technicians to help alleviate a problem of this magnitude.

A house is more than four walls and a roof, it is a home, a place of refuge and comfort from the outside world. Therefore, pests should not be in a homeowner's sanctuary, crawling over food, and eating awayat their peace of mind. In order to relieve any big bug issue, a homeowner will require the help of experienced pest control technicians to determine the best method to get rid of their particular pest problem.

Homeowners in metro Atlanta face many threats of the pest variety and can be overwhelmed with the sheer number of insect intruders that are trying to enter their homes. Don't lose hope, these invaders simply require effective pest control to control their populations. Make a phone call to the local Atlanta pest control technician today to solve all bug related issues.

Many people are looking for general pest control in Alpharetta Georgia, and are worried about doing the task themselves, versus hiring a professional. While it is possible to do it oneself, there are a myriad of choices out there, and not all of them work for the same pests. A professional will assess the situation, noting the types of pests in the home, and will then specially treat the home for said pests. With a professional, there is a guarantee that the pests will not come back in a specific time period, and if they do, the professionals come back and retreat. For those worried about pets, and pest control, there are a number of pest control products on the market that are actually very harmful to domestic pets, and these can even cause death if eaten (oftentimes, dogs can choke on ant or roach traps, or get upset stomachs from eating poison). Professional pesticides, however, are typically administered at just a one percent concentrate, which are effective enough to kill small insects, but pose no threats to animals or people. Additionally, the droplets do not remain in the air long enough to be a threat to breathing. Even the residue that is left behind is only toxic to bugs, not your pets. Those who are looking for general pest control in Alpharetta, Georgia, who want to make sure their pets are kept safe from harmful chemicals or traps, should consider calling a professional.

Technically, a hornet is a wasp. However, a wasp might not be a hornet. How is this possible, you ask? Well, let me explain. A wasp is defined as any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita, excluding ants or bees.

Which could be a hornet, or any number of other things. So, begs the question, "What's the difference between a bee and a wasp?"

For starters, Bees tend to be more social, have hairy bodies and subsist on a diet of pollen and nectar. Wasps or parasitic, predators, or scavengers. They feed off of other insects and have considerably less body hair. For further reading and a better understanding, try this out!

Hornets are the largest eusocial wasps. Hornets and wasps, unlike a honeybee, do not lose their stingers once they have stung you. Meaning they can sting multiple times and continuously inject anyone or thing with their venom.

If you are experiencing hornets and any other type of wasp, please call on your local Atlanta pest control to do the job that needs doing.
